Yeah I was trying to get the Mandriva One software but I almost downloaded it to my hard drive. I’m very confused about how this all works. Do you download it to a CD? Do you have to actually go out and buy a CD? Can you get a CD for free? I know I know there are a lot of questions here but I’m really new to this and need help!

I tried to troubleshoot a Dell computer with the Windows XP media center edition. Windows appears to be starting up, but it reaches the welcome screen and stays there. I tried booting from a Symantec recovery disc from a Norton Systemworks Premier package in hopes of restoring the most recent settings, but the software couldn’t see the hard drive. I tried to repair the installation with a Windows XP OS CD, but it didn’t seem to see the hard drive, either. I thought I could at least leave an Ubuntu Linux live CD so the owner could access the Internet, and after it loaded, it could see the hard drive. I tried to click on the main partition, and the following error message was displayed:
Cannot mount volume.
Unable to mount the volume.
Details
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) Failed to mount ‘/dev/sda2′: Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use.
There was more, but I’m running out of space. Is there any way to get back into Windows as it was?

I’ve tried many different live CDs, including WIndows preboot environment, Ubuntu, PC-Linux, and several others, and none of them “see” the hard drive. I’m sure I’m missing knowledge about how this works. I want to remove a keylogger folder from an infected hard drive with XP. If I try to remove it from within Windows (even when the HDD is a slave) the OS just hangs.

My WinXP hard drive recently crashed. I can still access it using my LinspireLive CD, but my slave drive doesn’t show up. My flash drive shows up as a dos disk, and my corrupted drive shows up as winxp, but my slave drive doesn’t show up at all. (I assume it would show up as a dos disk because there is no OS on it.) I tried booting up under Linspire Live without the flash drive plugged in, but the slave drive still did not show up. I would like to be able to move my important files from the corrupted drive to the slave drive. How can I get Linux to recognize my slave drive so that I can do this? (I’m relatively new to Linux so be gentle…LOL)
